This way it'll keep 'em more honest and I'm sure you'll see you're bottom line come down a bit due to the competition.

Lol that was my plan but here's the thing. The closest Nissan dealership is about a 40 minute drive and the other dealership I went to was about an hour drive(only two nissan dealerships to deal with) The dealer that's an hour away said that he will come up with a new quote after I show him what the dealer closest to me gave me. Now I don't want to waste gas and drive up there and back every time I get a new deal(or do I?). Unless I know I can get a fenomenal deal I will.

Yeah I got that same invoice but the dealer who gave me that invoice is giving me a bad trade in value for my car..Side note: Both dealers said it would be better not to fix my car and to keep the insurance check to go towards the Z.

This is ultimately what I want to happen
invoice 370z/SP/MT = $32,386
Subtract my cash down = $8,500
Subtract my insurance check from my collision = $1,500
That leaves me with = $22,386
Then subtract my trade in minus what's left on it = $9,000
Total cost of The Z = $13,386

Is this possible?

Can a dealer just say "nope I don't want to deal with you anymore" because he is tired of me going back and forth getting better prices?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help with saving me loads of money by reading my posts.

Edit: I just realized I bolded almost everything... lol

Honestly what i would do is go back to the dealer that gave you the bad trade in price and try and negotiate with them on that as it may be easier to try and make them offer you more for your trade in then it would be to try and find a dealer close by to you thats willing to offer you a good price. Then again it really depends on how much time you are willing to put into finding a good dealer with a good price. On the other hand you could always try to find a dealer thats willing to order the Z for you at invoice price and wait the 2 or 3 months it will take to get the car to you, in any case it's all up to you in the end as the buyer.

as for the sport package i agree that you can do without it, but IMO the sport package is worth it.
